NO HAWAIIANS EMPLOYED
When Thc iNDcrENDHNT com
plained sotDQ weoka ago that the
Rapid Transit Co was discriminat
ing against Hawaiians in the em
ployment of labor to build it3 road
that Company rushed frantically
into the labor market and secured
a scoro or moro of Hawaiians who
were kept at work for a woek or
mora But the order soon cooled
and now one looks la vain for the
face of an Hawaiian among the
gangs employed on the line of con
struction
This morning tho writer counted
27 laborers and lunas at work on
tho coupling of the Hues of that
Company across Fort at King
atreot No Hawaiians Employed
PerhapB the missionary manage
msnt of that Company recognizes
the futility of hoping for Hawaiian
votes in November and so have
discarded the mask of hypocrisy in
this respect theyve been wont to
wear
THEY WANT A ItOYAI SHOW
Tho Londoners aro persistent in
insisting that thoy shall not bo
cheated out of tho promisod rareo
show of the Royal Procession
which was spoiled by the postpone
ment of the arraugomonta for the
Coronation rendered necessary by
King Edwards illness All sorts of
propositions for substitute displays
aro being brought forward and ad
vocated and about tho latest is one
regarding which it is Btated that as
a result of a petition from South
Londoners voioing the disappoint
ment felt at the abandonment of
the Coronation procession the
King has consented to a tentative
arrangement in accordance with
which he will drive in State J
through South London in the
Autumn probably iu October
A great deal of tbia condition of
things undoubtedly is due to the
restless craving of curiosity created
by the practico parades of the royal
entourage which took plaoe some
time previous to the date fixed for
tho actual Coronation show and
iu which all tho Kings horses and
all the Kings men wore eo allur
ingly displayed before tho admiring
eyes of the populace of the modem
Babylon John Bull likes to see
what he is paying his money for
especially when there is promise of
a grand feed at the ond of the
show and when ho is unexpectedly
disappointed in either particular
ho is apt to become ugly and rio
tous as happened iu some places in
England on this occasion
So in order to restore the mulli
tudo to good humor tho Chamber
lain miuiotry have devised these
alter pieuoc iu order to divert their
miuds from moro dangerous cogita
tions Thoy want a show and
Chamberlain is just demagogue
enoug to give them a surfeit of that
so long as it costs him nothing and
leaves him and his family clique in
apparent possession of the power
that is so ominously dropping from
the hands that only a little while
ago lifted him out of the gutter of
the Blums of Birmingham
